This made me grin! With so many in this challenge having a hard time getting the concept of "triumph" converted to a photo - yours is there in spades!

Sharp and funny - Maybe more of a personal appeal than a public one.

One can only dream. (I mean me). Funny, and a kinda cool shot. I think it could have been better though, maybe in a different setting.

Greetings from the critique club :)

As a parent, I don´t often know what to say on pictures of other peoples kids so I might keep this a bit short.

I think this shot was pretty underrated in this challenge but then again I can guess on why it didn´t do better. First off, the lighting doesn´t really look natural, I personally would have given you the benefit of the doubt but it looks like you lit it with some side lighting, like a monolight or off camera flash. Like I said, I would have given you the benefit of the doubt but a lot of DPC voters are pretty anal when it comes to things like this and would certainly have voted it down for that.

Secondly, this baby is extremely cute and has a lovely smile, definately a photo to put in the family photo album for years to come. However, it´s not really something I haven´t seen or photographed before and while this is a treasure for you and the baby´s family, for other people this is simply a snapshot of a very cute baby, there are a lot of cute baby snapshot´s on DPC and I guess some people are tired of seeing them and vote down because of that. I am not fed up, far from it since I love kids and me and Henný are probably not done yet, but if you want a better score, try to make your baby photos a bit less "snapshot-ish" :)

Kind regards from Iceland, Lárus.

As A Christian I agree with you!

First Impression - the most important one:
Nice, I like it. I love the idea of finding the missing link to the chain, and I think you've done it probably the best.
Composition:
I think there probably is a more appealing lay out for the tools, but I like how the link really looks like it has just been uncovered rather then just resting on the dirt.
Subject:
I think you could add a little umph, to the picture by placing more emphases on the link; perhaps using lighting.
Technical (Colour, focus, and light):
I like the rustic feel, again maybe emphasize the link with some more lighting, but the colours are great. The POV, and DOF are also right on.
Artistic:
Very creative, well laid out.
To grow its vote?:
I think the picture is great, but for higher votes it needs a bit more of what I call the wow factor, you know that thing that makes you want to look at a picture for a long time. I'm not sure how you'd go about doing that with this picture.
Summary:
Good picture, creative, well laid out. Definitely has room for improvement.

Woa, Personal best! Keep that trend up! I also really like �city of lights�

Happy shooting, CBoydrun!

Color, but monochromatic. Nice idea. Your detail and focus if very good.
